Premonoidal categories as categories with algebraic structure (Q1605185): Difference between revisions

We develop the study of premonoidal categories. Specifically, we reconcile premonoidal categories with the usual study of categories with algebraic structure by adding a little extra structure. We further give a notion of closedness for a premonoidal category with such extra structure, and show that every premonoidal category fully embeds into a closed one.
